She said they had talked about the killing, but she changed her mind. Yet, she said, Morin bludgeoned her dad as she stood outside the apartment.

For her role in the crime, a jury convicted her of murder, and a judge sentenced her to life in prison. But after her fate was sealed, she told the judge she was the real killer. And now she has provided more details.

When Morin, 23, goes on trial in two weeks, facing the death penalty, Courtney Schulhoff will give jurors that new version of events, defense attorney Jeff Dowdy said.

She provided her new account in a sworn statement Nov. 9, two months after her conviction.

Steven Schulhoff was found beaten to death in his Altamonte Springs apartment Feb. 10, 2004. His bed and the wall behind it were splashed with blood. His body was near the foot of the bed, stuffed inside a storage container.

Neither Courtney Schulhoff nor Morin testified at her trial.

But both gave statements to Altamonte Springs police shortly after they were arrested. Courtney Schulhoff insisted Morin acted on his own.

"I begged him not to, oh my God," she said, according to a transcript of her police statement.

In her new version, though, she said she was angry with her father.

In her statement, she said he had raped her several months earlier, something she had not reported to police. And recently, she said, he had refused to let her drop out of Lyman High School.

She and Morin, just out of jail in a car-theft case, ran out of money, so they went back to the apartment to get her father's wallet, she said.

Without telling Morin, she decided to kill her father, who was asleep inside, she said.

She got the family's greyhound out of the house, put on baggy clothes, grabbed her father's aluminum Louisville Slugger bat and beat him to death, she said.

He did not wake up. He did not resist. The only sound he made was "like a gurgling," she said in her deposition.

Morin, she said, came inside a few minutes later, and when he saw the body, ran to the bathroom and threw up.

He tried to talk her into calling the police, she said, but she refused.

Assistant State Attorney Jim Carter would not comment on Courtney Schulhoff's new account.
